Good morning,

For the purchase of private residential properties, buyers do not need to pay commission. To ensure that all is clear, why not engage an agent to assist you on this. You can have a peace of mind that the transaction will go through smoothly and you also do not need to worry about paying the commission.

Do feel free to contact me for detail discussion.

Hi,

If the agent is collecting commission from the Seller, he is not allowed to collect commission from you as the Buyer. If he is collecting from both sides, he is violating CEA rules, and you can make a complaint against him.

In most cases, Sellers for private properties will pay agents commission for the deal closed. Hence, as a Buyer, there is no need for you to pay any commission.

If you want to ensure that your interests is protected, I am willing to represent you in your purchase transaction. You do not need to pay me any commission, as I will collect "co-broke commission" from the Seller's agent.

Should you need any further assistance in matters relating to property, please contact me at my mobile 9748 6305  . I will be happy to assess and share with you the possibilities for you and your partner in the current market.

Thank you.

Best regards,

Dear Sir/Mdm,

For private property transaction, buyers typically do not need to pay commission as the agent will be collecting the commission from the owner.

If the agent collects commission from you, there will be a conflict in interests which is not allowed under current CEA rules and regulations.

Please feel free to contact me if you have futher questions!

Testimonial from Satisfied Clients (2016/2017)
“I would like to recommend Nick Tan from SRI. Before we engaged Nick, we were working with another agent from a very popular property agency in February 2017. We decided to terminate the contract after 5 weeks of zero viewings and no paper advertisements. Basically he was just waiting for phone calls. We engaged Nick on 20th April and by 10th of May, our unit was sold off. Why Nick? 1. He has good marketing strategies 2. He always kept us posted on what he did (communications!) 3. He made sure we understand the current market situation but he will consistently reassure us that the unit can be sold off 4. He is not greedy and trusting 5. He walks the talk”

Peter & Wendy (Property Seller)

“We are very grateful to Nick for his extensive marketing efforts. With his comprehensive marketing plan, he helped us to achieve a record selling price within 2 weeks of listing our property for sale! We highly recommend his service to anyone who is keen to sell their properties.”
Mr & Mrs Wong (Property Seller)

“Nick has conducted himself ethically and professionally when handling the sales of our property. Thanks to his patience and perseverance, we managed to secure a sales price beyond our expectations.
We are very happy and satisfied with his services and will definitely recommend him to our friends and family in the future.”
Mr & Mrs Tan (Seller of Inter-Terrace House)

“Nick provides a delightful customer experience from day one when I engage him as my agent to look for a flat of my choice to the completion of the deal. He is competent, resourceful and has a pleasant manner to work with. He is the Agent of my choice in dealing with properties and I would highly recommend him to others who would appreciate an agent that takes care and can give the customer a peaceful mind.”
Susana (Buyer)

“Nick is very pro-active in helping us to resolve whatever questions and problems that we encountered. All the issues are settled even before us having to request or ask for a second time. He was very frank and transparent with all the details, limitations and advantages that we wouldn’t have known. I think this is the most important virtue to be successful in this line. I will surely recommend him to anyone who needs his service because I trust that they will be equally satisfied!!”

Dear buyer,

Please do not misunderstand my reply here as I am not promoting a case for dual representation.

The authorities have put into place a measure to ensure that a salesperson does not carry out dual representation in a property transaction as there is a conflict of interest in doing so. This introduction of regulation is not done with the objective to allow buyer exploit as an avenue not to pay commission in a property purchase, regardless HDB or private residential properties.

From a purchaser perspective, I highly believe that the main objective is to get as much savings as possible or buy as low as possible for a property you like. If for some reason, you are unable to do so, but require to engage the services of a professional consultant to work on this negotiation for a better pricing, would that be a case where this consultant is working in your interest, that paying him or her a token for achieving the desired pricing be logical? I do not think it makes sense for a buyer to pay more in purchasing price just to avoid paying commission.

The whole picture of buyer paying commission or not has been understood from a totally wrong perspective, and I thought it should be corrected. A salesperson who is honest and treat this business seriously will not want to risk losing his rice bowl by collecting commission from both seller and buyer, unless the amount involved can last the salesperson many years without the need to continue in this business.

Last but not least, as what my fellow professionals have pointed out, in a typical scenario, a buyer for a private residential property usually do not need to pay commission.

Hi,
The market practice for private condo is only seller pay commission. The seller agent will share part of the commission to the buyer agent. With this practice, buyer have the advantage of getting help from agent yet no commission is payable. Please drop me an email for me to advice and share more of the details.

To assist and advise you more in details, kindly drop me an email for me to share.

I am contactable at my mobile or email.

Hi, nope you need to pay a single cent on commission. But it is advisable for you to apppoint an agent to assist you further due to several reason:
1) your agent will arrange and fixed appointment on your behalf for all the viewing and the best part is that you don't need to pay him or her a single cent on commission.
2) your agent will do a detail financial calculation for you and by connecting you to a banker for the loan issue.
3) your agent will look after your interest should any hiccup occurs along the way right after signing of the contract.

Pls feel free to let me know if you need any assistance.
